alright so i just benched the new build. rough specs are an asus pk5-e, q6600 G0, OCZ plat. rev. 2 ddr2 800, evga 8800gt (not superclocked, regular 600/1800).
heres the 3dmark link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5607747
i know that the ram is only running at 780mhz with a 4:5 fsb:dram, but i wanted to run the 6600 at something where i knew it wasnt going to need a voltage bump, currently at 2.8ghz. the 8800 is at 650core/1900mem/~1600shaders.
does this score seem alright? also what are people with 6600s getting to before you typically need to bump the voltage up? also by how much would i need to boost it if it became unstable at say the 3-3.2 ghz range? i know generally what im doing, but playing with the voltage scares me a bit and i cant say ive had years of experience like im sure most people here can. any help appriciated...
